The Roving Blades/The Crimson Pirates - Irish Band - New York City, New York Event Location: The Jerry Orbach Theatre, New York, New York Event Type: Theatrical Performance 4th January 2014

The show stars five comedic pirates, who spin their tale with all tongues tucked firmly into their cheeks — at least when they aren't singing. Running about 60 minutes without intermission, this clever romp deftly walks a fine line: the script — which includes lapses into improvisation — works for both kids and their parents at the same time.

The show was non-stop laughter. Parents were laughing just as much as the kids, as some of the jokes were geared toward the parents (i.e. 'Monty Python' references) but nothing is really inappropriate for kids. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes, and my son asked me to stop because I was so loud that he couldn't hear.
